Though she passed away years before this treatment was even thought of, in 1993.

It would be wonderful if this works! Even if it "only" gives the patients another ten years, it would be such a boon. My sister was given a three month prognosis and we thought it was great that she lived 18 months with experimental treatment. With another ten years she could have seen her sons live to almost be adults rather than dying when they were still just young children.
